| The Knowing Body: God's Forms in Jewish Antiquity $2000.00 |
To be an excellent teacher requires a scholar to stay active in their respective field, publishing regularly and contributing to their area of specialization so that they can bring the latest, up-to-date, information about a subject to their students. As a specialist of Ancient Judaism and Early Christianity, on November 19, 2023, I will present an academic paper at the Society of Biblical Literature’s Annual Meeting in San Antonio, TX. My paper addresses a topic related to the third chapter of my current book project—The Knowing Body: God’s Forms in Jewish Antiquity. This book not only deconstructs the false binary between “mind” knowledge and “body” knowledge, but it also situates the Gospel of John and its description of Jesus as God-made-flesh within first-century Judaism. In the process, the project addresses intersecting themes of epistemology, anti-Semitism, and racism—arguing that for ancient Jews and early Christians alike, God not only had a body but was known through the body. Presenting my research and listening to other scholars’ present their work will undoubtably make me a better researcher, but it will also make me a better teacher since it will enable me to bring the latest scholarly developments on the origins of Judaism and Christianity into the classroom. |
| Conference Presentation: Integrating XR Technologies to Teach First-Year Engineers Socially-Engaged Design $1960.00 |
Conference presentation and attendance at the 20th International Conference for Knowledge, Technology, and Society in Valencia, Spain, on March 7-8. Presenting course design and research results of a new section of ENGR 100: “Socially-engaged design of nuclear energy technologies.” An E3 Level 2 grant funded the development of this course. This project will directly impact the 85 students I teach in ENGR 100 each year. |
